The weekly MTG Arena Announcement post has been published by Wizards of the Coast! Here’s the roundup of everything that is happening and upcoming on MTG Arena! In this edition:
The long-awaited set release of Khans of Tarkir on MTG Arena happened last week, and now you can play in one of the most popular draft environments Magic has ever had! Check out all the cards in the Khans of Tarkir Card Image Gallery. You can also put those fetch lands into action—along with any other card available on MTG Arena—in the new Timeless format.
And don’t miss Khans of Tarkir Quick Draft, December 22–January 2, and Khans of Tarkir Constructed during Midweek Magic December 26–28.
Festival in a Box Chaos Sealed Event Returns!
Players in the United States have more opportunities to win a physical Festival in a Box: Las Vegas 2023 bundle coming up! This weekend, December 22–24, and the following weekend, December 29–31, play in the Festival in a Box Chaos Sealed event, reach six wins, and you can receive the Festival in a Box shipped to you (while supplies last; see the important notes below). Enter as many times as you like to try to win!
Prizes for this event are only available to residents of the US. We understand this is disappointing to players outside of the US. This event is an initial test for how we can award non-monetary prizes on MTG Arena, and we made the decision to focus on getting everything right with shipping in the US before we offer prizes globally. Based on the results of this series of events, we will be exploring ways to expand physical prizes globally for future events.
Important notes on the Festival in a Box event and prize:
You must be 18 years or older to participate. Only available to residents of the United States. Void where prohibited.
Please read the Festival in a Box event terms and conditions before entering. Supplies of the Festival in a Box: Las Vegas 2023 prize are limited, and a $250 cash prize will be substituted for players who earn this prize after supplies run out.
Due to the holidays, communications to winners of a Festival in a Box will begin the first week of January.
